My source selection
Hi WCM. I was going to reply in the thread itself but thought I'd do so here in order to further avoid cluttering it. In one of your comments you claimed I "appear to be giving selective credence to sources that support your own viewpoint rather than giving a balanced view of the literature". This suggestion is incorrect. Of the three sources I examined, two were already in the section and are excellent scholarly sources. I turned to a third source, a collection of essays on the topic, because I own it. I purchased it because academic reviewers have praised it for its diversity and even-handedness, e.g.. I explained why I rejected a fourth source (the 1948 one): its age and closeness to events. If you think this combination of sources is skewed, please share an alterative scholarly source and I'll be happy to review it. Jr8825 •  Talk  15:41, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Please keep discussion centralised, there may be others who wished to respond. My problem is not with your sources, its the non-neutral language you're using in your edits.  The sources would also support more neutral phrasing, yes it might be in one's self-interest to avoid conflict but that is a rather jaundiced way to describe such a motive.

TPG
Hi - you're right that refactoring other people's comments on talk pages is generally frowned upon. However, I'll note two things. First, that amendment to a comment that had already been replied to was itself inappropriate. Second, the account I was reverting is the sock of a blocked (and globally banned) user. I was in the middle of rolling back a bunch of their contributions to discussions, simply to avoid wasting people's time in replying to them, but I guess in that case it would be more useful to simply close the discussion, which I will now do. Girth Summit  (blether) 13:06, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


 * OK I was unaware of that when it popped up on my watchlist. I would comment that striking through and editing a comment has always been allowed. since it does allow for the narrative to be maintained.  Whilst the editor concerned ma have been disruptive they have raised a pertinent point on the article. WCM email 13:09, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Striking through, yes; adding new assertions to comments that have been responded to, not really unless you're going to mark it as 'inserted' (WP:TALK). Anyway, it's no biggie - so long as you guys are discussing what to do with the article, and give no weight to the sock's comments, that's fine. (I haven't actually checked to see what the article is about, so have no view on the matter.) Girth Summit  (blether)  13:25, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Your template
I'm curious to know how you created your template "User:Wee Curry Monster/talk", especially the line about the current time of day. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:59, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * TBH I cribbed it from my very good friend and then modified it how I wanted it, feel free to copy it if you find it useful. WCM email 06:55, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes, Dave1185. We used to have some lively discussions. What I'm talking about is your template that includes the line "Please note that it is Crystal Clear app clock.svg 6:55 AM (GMT), where I live". That comes from a template called User:Wee Curry Monster/talk, which I would indeed like to copy and customize - but I can't figure out how to get to it! ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 07:01, 14 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Should be as simple as cut'n'paste the code below. WCM email 07:11, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Please note that it is   (GMT)

Adjust it for your timezone by adding the offset from GMT to replace the final 0 and you can customise it with whatever image you like from commons. WCM email 07:11, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * That seems to work well. I still don't know how to create a template, but at least I have the current time posted now. Thank you for your help. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 11:38, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Falkland
Could you help verify this source for ROC supporting the UK against Argentina's claim ? CurryCity (talk) 23:05, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * the original link no longer appears to exist and is redirected to a list of bulletins from the Taiwanese foreign office. That's not to say it didn't previously back in 2013 but it would take some work to find the bulletin. See WP:LINKROT.  According to archive.org, back in 2013, it would have verified .  I'm curious what prompted this, was it my revert of your CELAC edit? WCM email 06:14, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Argentina raises this constantly, but it became notable this time with EU's language, at least that's what prompted my edit on CELAC. While reading over that section, I saw the ROC sentence; I had no idea they even held a position on this. CurryCity (talk) 05:58, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It didn't the EU denied it had made any change in position, its unusual for diplomats to actually state the other side has misrepresented their position as in this case. It may in the future become notable for Argentina annoying the EU and delaying any agreement with Mercosur due to a lack of trust in the negotiations.  Right now, just another example of Argentina touting a non-event as a diplomatic breakthrough.  The same will happen next week and the next. WCM email 06:09, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Rex Hunt (diplomat)
I'm afraid you are completely wrong on this one. You need to read Lady, which sets out the details. Lady Hunt was not the daughter of an earl, marquess or duke, which would have granted her the title before her first name. Her title only came to her as a courtesy because her husband was knighted. It is certainly true that many people get this wrong, and she may have been referred to in some poor sources as "Lady Mavis", but Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a perpetuator of inaccurate information. -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:23, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The article talk page is the place to be having this discussion not my talk page, other than the usual vandalism, I rarely revert anyone but when I do so I'm guided by reference to sources. What I found was sources overwhelmingly referred to her as Lady Mavis Hunt.  Hence, I was disappointed to see you'd simply reverted rather than starting the talk page discussion, if you open the discussion and consensus is in your favour then that is the time to update the article per WP:BRD. WCM email 07:46, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * This is not a discussion on a particular individual, but on a basic error which has already been pointed out to you and which has been fully explained in the appropriate article. But, if you'd rather perpetuate inaccuracies than fact on Wikipedia then good luck to you. I can find plenty of sources that refer to her as Lady Mavis. I can also find plenty that refer to her correctly as Lady Hunt. Not sure why you have decided to go with the former. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:58, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I refer you to my previous comment. WCM email 12:02, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of British possession
Hi, Wee Curry Monster, where do I find the discussion for the proposed deletion? I've never participated in one before and I'm a bit confused. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 14:34, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I've used WP:PROD, unless there is an objection it will be deleted within 7 days, without discussion. If contested I will raise at WP:AFD and invite you to comment as you expressed an interest. WCM email 14:37, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

I just read your closing remark. Very well put. Needless to say, it was a relief when you showed up. But you're right that the talk page has become toxic, and I too have withdrawn, at least until the protection is lifted. Hopefully your (and Elemimele's) suggestion will be heeded and the page will be carefully stewarded forward in line with BLP. My sense is that we're fighting people who think his bio just isn't hinting strongly enough that he's a misogynist. I thought about appending something along those lines to your comment. But I think your statement is an excellent place to leave it. Once again, you have my thanks. Thomas B (talk) 17:11, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

2013 Falkland Islands sovereignty referendum
Hello. I'm not sure if you're familiar with WP:SDNONE, but it effectively says that if an article title is self-explanatory, the short description should be set to none. Short descriptions are meant to provide additional context (where required) to article titles. However, the short description you reinstated is actually less descriptive than the article title, so is not appropriate. Cheers, Number   5  7  15:42, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
